  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Resumes baseball activities

    Campusano (toe) has begun taking part in baseball activities, though he's not yet pain-free and isn't close to a return, per MLB.com.

    Campusano is dealing with a fractured left toe as the result of a ball he fouled off his foot May 5. Though the fracture has been deemed "small," Campusano is still dealing with some pain, so he isn't ready to resume playing in games. Freddy Fermin and Rodolfo Duran are San Diego's big-league catchers in Campusano's absence.

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Delivers walk-off blast

    Quero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Cubs.

    Quero drove in a run with an RBI single in the second inning before delivering the biggest swing of the game in the 10th. With one out, a runner on and the White Sox trailing by one, the 23-year-old catcher launched a walk-off two-run homer off Ryan Rolison for his first long ball of the season. Entering Sunday, Quero had struggled badly at the plate, slashing just .151/.248/.163 with one double and seven RBI across 31 games.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Gets on base four times

    Moreno went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.

    Moreno logged his third multi-hit effort in a row, a span that also includes his two steals this season. His bat looks to be coming around -- prior to this hot stretch, he went 0-for-16 over a six-game span. The catcher is hitting .253 with a .677 OPS, one home run, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and seven doubles across 92 plate appearances this season.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Pops seventh homer

    Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.

    Jeffers put the Twins ahead 4-3 in the fifth inning with his solo shot. The catcher hasn't been quite as dominant at the plate in May as he was in April, but he's still batting .275 (11-for-40) with three homers, six RBI and an 8:6 BB:K over 12 contests this month. Overall, he's hitting .294 with a .948 OPS, seven homers, 26 RBI, 25 runs scored, one stolen base, six doubles and a triple through 36 games.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: X-rays negative on finger

    Narvaez underwent X-rays on his finger, which came back negative, after Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez exited the game in the third inning after dealing with finger pain on his right hand, and he is now considered day-to-day. The 27-year-old was replaced in the contest by Connor Wong, who is likely the next man up behind the plate if Narvaez is forced to miss any action moving forward.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Managing finger issue

    Narvaez was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta due to pain in the third finger on his right hand, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    It's unclear exactly how he sustained the injury, but Narvaez was replaced defensively for the bottom of the sixth inning after going 1-for-2 at the plate. Connor Wong (ankle), who has been dealing with his own injury, replaced Narvaez at catcher.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Getting breather Sunday

    Smith is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Smith started the previous six games and will receive a day off after going 5-for-19 with three walks, a homer, three RBI and four runs during that stretch. Dalton Rushing will step in behind the plate and bat seventh for the series finale in Anaheim.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Getting rare rest day

    Langeliers isn't starting Sunday versus San Francisco.

    Langeliers has been a constant in the A's lineup either behind the plate or as the DH, but he'll begin on the bench Sunday for the first time since he went on paternity leave in early May. He's been one of baseball's most outstanding hitters this season, posting a 1.005 OPS with 12 homers and 27 RBI through 187 plate appearances. Jonah Heim is starting at catcher for the A's on Sunday.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Potentially suffers setback

    Teel (hamstring) tweaked his right knee while taking a swing in a minor-league rehab game Saturday night, and he's set to be re-evaluated Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Teel was playing in his fourth rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte and appeared to be nearing his season debut for the White Sox. The catcher isn't in Charlotte's lineup Sunday, and it probably won't be clear when he'll be able to play again until after he's re-evaluated Tuesday. Teel had gone 4-for-15 with a home run and two RBI during his rehab stint at Triple-A.

  • Jimmy Crooks C | STL

    Cardinals' Jimmy Crooks: Up to 13 home runs at Triple-A

    Crooks went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a pair of walks in Triple-A Memphis' win over Jacksonville.

    The long ball was Crooks' 13th of the season, which is only one off the career-high 14 homers he had at Memphis in 2025. He's also sporting a 17.7 percent walk rate and 30.6 percent strikeout rate, so it's been a three-true-outcomes season for the 24-year-old backstop. Crooks has a lot more offensive upside than Pedro Pages and is also a good defender, but the Cardinals like Pages' defense and handling of the pitching staff. A promotion for Crooks doesn't appear imminent.
